French Fashion: law of gravity repealed?

Can someone, anyone, explain to me how this woman can dance like that in a skirt that tight without falling over? Is this a clever use of wires or antigravity corsets or something?

For the curious, and it is very curious, is it not? this is the fabulous French band Les Rita Mitsouko doing their big hit Marcia Baila from 1985.

    I think there is some proto-sexyface going on with the guitarist

    LOVE this! Thanks! How come we have to retread all the scraggy bits of the 80′s without the wit or the winks that made the best of it so much fun?

    He has to do SOMETHING to hold his own with her onstage!
